As promised from my previous Iceland post, I am going to show you the Great Geysir!
Not only was it spectacular to witness first hand, with a marvellous sun rise, but I also managed to time the photo to somehow capture a face in the Geysir (not photoshopped!)!
This effect is know as pareidolia, our ability to see faces and other shapes in random patterns (the face on mars being a famous example). I'm so pleased with the result and hope you like it too!
Steam (not STEEM) after the eruption...
The Great Geysir is apparently the original geyser (from which all other erupting hot springs worldwide get their english name of 'geyser'), as the phenomenon was first to be described in printed form by modern Europeans here in this spot. The name stuck.
another eruption...
It erupts roughly every 8-10 minutes, or at least it did when we were there! This provides lots of opportunities to take extra photos if you happen to miss it the first time round. Also lots of time to find the right spot and set up your camera!
Again, get there early, it gets busy!
Next stop...Gullfoss waterfalls...
